Life as humans know it comes to an end on the day of the Wake, when all of the animals of the world suddenly gain the ability to think and reason as humans do. Some aim to protect their humans, others are thirsty for revenge and both the known power structure and food chain will never be the same again. A young girl named Jesse Hernandez and her loyal bloodhound Sandor aim to make it from New York City to San Francisco so that Jesse can meet up with her remaining family. But there's a lot of disputed territory in between, can the duo make it?
This is easily the most grim and bleak story that I've seen from Marguerite Bennett but it asks some very intriguing questions about human nature and the company we keep. The art by De Latorre is a perfect match for Bennett's dark story and while the writing borders on preachy at times, it never gets too over the top even as the action gets intense.
